According to the ancient book Chen's "Guang Ji at the Age of Years", "Spring cakes, lettuce and spring vegetables are eaten in spring." There is also a saying in "Yanjing Years" in the Qing Dynasty: "Playing spring means that rich people eat more spring cakes." It can be seen that the folk custom of making and eating spring cakes in spring has a long history. Now there are many proverbs about spring rolls, such as "one roll does not make spring", "Longshengtang spring rolls are not people inside and outside" and so on. Spring means spring here, which is a good sign to welcome the New Year and celebrate.

At that time, when people went to beginning of spring, they spread pancakes made of flour on the plate and ate them with delicate vegetables, so they were called "spring dishes". At that time, not only did beginning of spring eat it on this day, but people also brought "spring dishes" during their spring outing. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, this trend became more prevalent. The famous poet Du Fu's poem "Spring Lettuce" and Lu You's poem "Spring Stories" truly reflect this kind of life custom of people in Tang and Song Dynasties. In the Tang dynasty, the spring plate was also called the spiced plate. Li Shizhen in the Ming Dynasty said: "Mixed vegetables such as onion, garlic, leek, Polygonum hydropiper, Artemisia and mustard are called five parsley." Later, spring plates and spiced plates evolved into spring cakes. In the Song Dynasty, Wu described it like this: "Changshu cakes, wonton bowls, spring cakes, vegetable cakes and glutinous rice balls." In the Qing dynasty, wealthy families or ordinary families also ate more spring cakes. In the Qing Dynasty, Fu Cha Dunchong recorded in Yanjing Year: Playing Spring: "Japanese rich eat more spring cakes, while women buy more radishes to eat. It is said that they can bite spring, but they can make spring. " In this way, eating spring cakes has gradually become a traditional custom, so as to achieve the purpose of auspiciousness and disaster elimination. With the development and improvement of cooking technology, "spring cake" has evolved into a small and exquisite spring roll. At this time, it not only became a folk snack, but also became a palace pastry and an elegant hall. Among the Manchu-Han banquet 128 dishes in the Qing Dynasty, spring rolls are one of the nine snacks.
